IN MEMORIAM.

The funeral service of Miss Claudia john
SON only child of Mr.. and Mrs. j. f. John
son, was attended by large circle of friends
Yesterday afternoon from the First Baptist
church.
For months it has been apparent to those in
innate with Miss Johnson that consumption,
ever delighting to lay its hand upon the most
beautiful of earth, had marked her for its
own As her ethereal, spiritual face, lighted
up with its usual smile, told from day to
day the increasing weakness OF
body the soul o. seemed to be just
pluming itself for its fight to its eternal
home Only few days ago she was still
able to ride out and visit friends but early
this week she grew suddenly worse until
Thursday evening at half past six O'Clock
when she peacefully and beautifully fell
asleep in Jesus to awake in His likeness.
Claudia was lovely girl, just maturing into
all the graces of christian womanhood, hav-
ing completed her nineteenth year.
All who knew her. loved her for her purity
Of character, and admired the simplicity OF
her faith, and the beautiful consistency of
her life. Earth is looser. but heaven is
richer when such as she die. She was per-
feet exemplifcation of the text of her pastor
at the funeral: "To be spiritually minded is
life and peace"
How we are lifted heavenward by such a
life and even the unbelieving are forced to
exclaim: "Of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven"
A friend hastily penned the following lines,
expressive of Claudia's faith, and habit of
comforting Others.
Claudio dear, why did you leave US
When you knew how it would grive us.
Twas really cruel for you to 60,
" hen you knew we loved you so.
| knew twas sad to have NE leave,
But Mamma dear you should not grive,
The Savior took me by the hand
And led ME To a better land,
We know thou art gene to the home Of the
To the land where the weary are forever
at rest.
But we are wrapped in such mantle Of
grief
That nausht but thy presence can give
relief.
Grieve not, but bid those signs depart,
God viii heal each Borrowing heart,
Win wipe the tears from every eye
And bring you to live with NE on high.

EXCESS OF DONKEY.

would most respectfully beg leave to call
attention to the fact of the long cared nxis-
ance in our neighborhood. His almost hourly
braying both day and night is simply excru-
ciating to ears attuned to harmonious sounds,
or souls imdued with any degree of the milk
of human kindness. for one hearing him for
the first time would certainly imagine him in
his last agenies. Those who have witnessed
the performance say it is not only comical
but hideous; TO this cannot affirm, not hav-

odious IS enough for me- l became a resident

SHOOTING AT THIEVES.

Thursday night near 2 O'Clock Mr. Rein
ard, who lives On North Topeka avenue,
thought he heard some one In the parlor.
Thinking there were robbers in the house he
seized revolver and proceeded to slip down
stairs from his bedroom. When near half
way down the stairway he was spied by one
of the thieves in the parlor. The parlor door
was slammed shut and the thieves went
bounding out the window.
Mr. Redmond FASTENED in the room and ar
rived lust in time to see the last one 60 out
the window. He run to the window and
saw three men running across tie yard to
the alley. He opened up parting enter
taiu,nent by emptying the load out Of his
revolver. After the third shot one of the
men cried out Il am shot He run on all
the same and did not seen TO be seriously
iniared. Mr. Redmond stated that he YVES

THE COURTS.
POLICE COURT.

Quite full attendance yesterday at the
police cou. t, and his honor Judge Dixon
found enough to keep him busy most of the
day.
Joe Watson was boisterous big mouthed
individual whom Officer Lilly found upon
his beat and invited to the cooler where in
for want of s. he still remains.
John Smith and Jas. Wilson in some way
got mixed up in little disturb
ance and consequence were arrest
ed The charge preferred against both was
assault and battery; Smith was dismissed,
Wilson found guilty, fined IS and costs and

H. Jones, Henry Schaffer, Z. j. True and
John Sandford were all violators of the
liquor ordinance 1t being their first often
ses the Judge assessed each fine of S23 and
costs. John Nau, however, did not get OIL
so easily; but paid fine of $40 and costs.
John Smith, it appears, was operating
sort Of gaming contrivance and at the same
time giving away to his patrons
intoxicants. He was introduced by Officer
Hambrough plead guilty, and paid fine of
$40 and costs.
Ed. Golfer was colored boy who raised a
disturbance in a shooting gallery on North

A. H. Derrick was running job wagon

NEEDS ATTENTION.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Notice has been given and several articles
written OH the most effectual nuisances eX-
issing in the city and this is in the alley and
rear of the Detroit restauraunt How long
has this to exist! It was tia same last sum-
mer and fall, when the council was notified
time and again. This year to the writer's
certain knowledge the sanitary committee
have been notified of the facts several times.
The sanitary police has notified ths proprie-
tors to clean up, which was done one day
last week, and for two days 1t was passible.
Now it is as bad as ever, the police cannot
clean the bitches and the putrid matter stands
in front of the residences and business houses,
with staunch enough to make one hold their
breath in passing, and people cannot sleep
with their windows open in this locality.
These are facts as anyone can see by walk
ing south On Lawrence from Douglass only
one half block. If some of the officers will
be kind enough 10 abate this nuisance they
will have the blessing of all ia that vic unity
conferred upon them. For the respect of
the city it needs immediate attention.

The A. 0. U. w. last evening entertained
their friends with an ice cream aud straw
berry social at their hall on North Market.
There was quite good attendance, during
the evening about one hundred and fifty
persons called in to partake of the hospitality
of the Workmen The cream was
furnished by Odburt s. Co, of N. Main, as
was also fine large cake. Besides the enter
tainment offered for the inner man there was
some very good music All in all it was
most enjoyable occasion and the order is to
be congratulated upon the success that at
tended their effort.
The men attempted to run the social them
selves and as consequence found that they
had just about one third enough of dishes and
spoons and besides got badly muddled up
The ladies, however, came to their rescue and
with the skillful manipulation that always
distinguishes the weaker sex, managed to not
only supply the hungry but completely re-
trieve the bad fortune of the lords Of crea-
ton.

Everything possible was done to re-
lieve the suffering. but the child still lies in
q critical condition.

The next attraction will be the Minnie
Maddern Company in 'Caprice." or this
the San Francisco Wasp says: sit is not
surprising that SO genuinely natural and I'M
affected an actress as Miss Maddern should
have Caught on, to an extent that rendered
at least another week of Caprice necessary
to satisfy the patrons Of the Alcazar. In
fact Miss Maddern's quiet and enforced pic
ture of the love-lorn little country girl could
be counted upon to fill the house for several
weeks to come.
GARFIELD OPERA HOUSE.
Last evening owing to the illness OF Mr.
Paxton, Miss Jessie Hatcher assumed the
character of Bippo. She had but few min
utes notice, yet she played this part with
the same life, skill and energy that she does
all her parts. and won the hearty applause
of her audience.
This evening the pleasing comic opera OF
Olvette will be presented, with all the COM
pany in the cast, with beautiful costumes,
full chorus, ETC., including Knoll, the cornet-
ist, in his cornet solos.
The young and talented cornet soloist, MIR.
A. II. Knoll, appeared for the first time at
the Garfield opera house last evening In the
following selections: 81 COuto" Rossaire.
"The last Rose Of Summer" "The Blue
Bells Of Scotland" down Deep within q
Cellar" The talented gentleman was twice
encored and was we'll deserved. On bis
second encore he played 'Down Deep within
a Cellar" the German bass solo wherein be
played an octave below the register OF the
instrument which was only done by one
other artist, the cornetest Levy. Mr.. Knoll
will appear every evening until further
notice. His part in the entertainment at
the Garfield is worth more than the prices of
admission charged.
